The Italian Grille

The service is typically good. To me, the food is not that impressive for the price. I've been to Rome, Italy before and I know authentic when I see or taste it. If I want authentic Italian I usually go somewhere else. I might go here once a year.

I hadn't been there in several years but I was happily surprised. Their tomato vinaigrette was really good. I don't care for chopped veggies in my salad, you should be able to stab your salad, not have to scoop it. But all the ingredients were fresh so....I ordered spaghetti with marinara, mushrooms, and meatballs. It was a large spaghetti but done perfectly. The sauce was a fresh style which was refreshing. Chunks of tomatoes in a rich sauce, it really was quite good. The loaf of bread had a crackling crust and was hot clear through. I prefer a more coarse crumb to bread but it was good and the olive oil dipping bowl was well seasoned and hit the spot.

Excellent food and service
